At some point in their career, most classroom teachers have worked with struggling readers.  They have often searched their bag of tricks for strategies to help their students become more proficient.  It’s a difficult and very complicated task.  Our project was to give you helpful, practical information and sources to expand your bag of tricks.

 The participating teachers have a range of experience from kindergarten to high school in regular and special education classrooms.  With over 64 collective years of classroom experience, these teachers’ perspectives set the criteria for the development of this website.

 Each module will have the following components:  definition of terms, introduction, background information, teacher friendly strategies, assessment tools, teacher resources, and an annotated list of relevant links.

 We hope you find this information helpful as we all strive to make every child a successful reader!

 

This website was developed collaboratively during the summer session of May/June 2002 and the spring session of March 2003  as a technology project by graduate students in RED 6657(Reading Disabilities/Learning Disabilities), as a service learning project by Amanda Smith, CIS student, and Dr. Linda Ray, College of Education.  We hope you have enjoyed this website!
